Axios news website reported that the Donald Trump administration informed the Islamic Republic in a confidential message about its plans for a naval operation in the Strait of Hormuz and warned against any interference.

According to the report, a senior U.S. official informed Tehran on Sunday that the operation aims to "guide" ships through this waterway.

Axios, citing its sources, wrote that the White House attempted to reduce the risk of escalating tensions with this message; however, despite this warning, the Islamic Republic has carried out attacks against U.S. warships, commercial vessels, and targets in the UAE.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff stated that these attacks "are not at a level" that would lead to the resumption of a large-scale war, and the ceasefire remains in effect.

However, some U.S. and Israeli officials believe that if the diplomatic deadlock continues, Trump may issue orders to resume the war in the coming days.
